      How To Get Your Physical USDOT Number Decal After Getting Your Entity Assigned By FMCSA

      USDOT assigned letter

      After you get your application approved by FMCSA and get assigned a unique USDOT number, you will need to place your assigned USDOT number on your commercial vehicle. A lot of first-time applicants believe that they will be receiving a sticker decal to their registered address, but this is not the case. You will need to order your own physical decal and place it yourself on your vehicle. You can order your USDOT number decal from us (the experts in USDOT Truck Lettering) or a local sign shop. Keep in mind that local sign shops will charge a ridiculous amount since they are normally busy.

       A few things to keep in mind when ordering your custom USDOT number decal,

       

      • Your USDOT number must be at least 2 inches in height
      • It must be on both sides of your commercial vehicle
      • It must be visible from a distance of at least 50 feet
      • It must contrast with the color of your vehicle

      custom truck door lettering

      Temp Power Systems reached out to us to create custom truck door decals for their fleet. They sent us over their logo and we created a quick mock up on a Ford F-150 and a Ford F-450 Dually. We had great dialogue via e-mail and created exactly what they were looking for. They were needing truck logo decals for their fleet of 25 commercial trucks. We used the highest quality vinyl that are guaranteed to last a long time. We layered two colors for maximum aesthetic and quality. Our decals are cut, not printed. This means that ink will not fade and leave a new long-lasting finish for years to come.

      How To Display Your USDOT Commercial Truck Lettering Decals | Fancy vs Regular Lettering?

      basic vs fancy usdot truck lettering

      Not all lettering is created equal. We often see commercial businesses displaying their truck lettering with cheap hardware store stickers that fall off within months, or worse, displaying their important information on pieces of paper or cardboard.

      If you have a transportation business, you want to be professional. You want leave a positive impression with the public and with business partners, that’s why we always recommend professional vinyl lettering.

      In the example below, both of the letterings are US DOT compliant, but one looks a lot more professional and leaves a brand impression.

      The basic lettering on the left displays all of the information required to do trucking business. It’s discreet, it visible and looks professional.

      The fancy lettering on the right leaves a long-lasting positive impression and it’s also DOT compliant. The USDOT & MC lettering is nicely integrated with the truck door logo.  

      As we stated earlier, both are DOT compliant but one leaves an impression and combines compliance with aesthetics.

      If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
